Artist Statement

When I first started painting watercolors I got with a hit with a bolt of inspiration—paint a donut. Later, the same bolt hit me—paint a calendar of donuts. Three years later, my Donuts of the Bay Area calendar has brought me nothing but joy. The donut is basically my mascot and spirit pastry. It helped get me from being miserable at a desk job to full-time art and illustration.

Our quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the images, not the printed image itself. We do not alter the aspect ratio, nor do we crop or resize the artists’ originals. All of our prints have a minimum border of .5 inches to allow for framing.
